Don’t call it a comeback!
Thanks to the assembly of nearly 4 hours of star power from the likes of Mariah Carey, Brandy, Latto, Jack Harlow, Diddy, Mary J. Blige, Lil Kim, and more, “Culture’s Biggest Night” saw a big uptick in viewership from last year’s BET Awards.
See what we mean inside:
Viewership = 3.2 Million
After falling to a historic low of approximately 2.4 million viewers in 2021 (primarily due to competition from televised U.S. Olympics programming), this year’s ceremony – which aired Sunday (June 26) – courted a whopping 3.2 million sets of eyes.
A feat undoubtedly anchored by the preceding announcement of performances from Jack Harlow, Latto, Giveon, Chloe Bailey, Muni Long, and more (click here to watch), the Taraji P. Henson-hosted show’s final numbers were also assisted by simulcast viewership figures collected from 10 Paramount Global networks including BET, BET Her, Comedy Central, Logo, MTV, MTV2, Pop, TV Land, and VH1.
Scott MIlls, CEO of BET, took to press to share his elation.
“We couldn’t be more thrilled about this year’s ratings! Every year, we strive to have the BET Awards celebrate and reflect that which is best and most important to our community and culture in our hope to inspire them to dream big and take action. I salute my colleagues for delivering an event that has so profoundly resonated, “said MIlls about this year’s ratings which reflect a 34% increase over last year’s.
If you missed the action when it first aired live you can catch an encore presentation on Thursday, June 30 at 9 PM ET/PT on BET.
It was only because everyone thought Beyoncé was gonna perform. That’s the only reason the views were that high
LOL only in your mind bisshhh, nobody was thinking about that FLOP except you roaches yall the only ones obsessed with that FLOP lmaoooooooo
White tweens tuned in to watch Jack Harlow awkward dance moves/seizures in prison b*tch attire and taking on a blaccent at the end of “First Class”. Guy looked uneasy on stage – either it was his 1st time being surrounded by THAT MANY black folks in one room OR he KNEW his dancing was being judged harshly. 🤣 Certainly wasn’t for Mariah gesturing/ordering Latte to sing her part like she did to Ariana in the “Oh Santa!” video!
A white guy at the bet awards? Fking c o o n s

*opens mouth as you plop long surpiror black turd in my mouth*💩💩 Ahhhhhhhhhhh!
@Ebt awards, when will you be free to take me to your surgery so I can get the same 𝓼𝓮𝔁 reassignment surgery as you got? I can’t wait for your fat mom to strap on and 𝓯𝓾𝓬𝓴 me and your daddy again.
The reason for the 3.2M is because of the young, pop bending artist! I hope the show runners and producers see that the audience are tired of seeing Chris Brown perform and win EVERY award, Trey Songz try to sing and every rapper known to man perform. Young, fresh, new Artist will the lights on!
RHOA can’t relate 🤭

Thank god my daddy Jack Harlow saved the show💅🏾 Amen 🙏
